Ha! I stumbled upon a prime example of this slop here earlier:

He's always been Pootin's little gimp…

Putin & Trump. Trump is asking Putin "On my knees? Or should I just bend over?"

A totally genuine, absolutely not photoshopped (nudge, wink, smirk) photo of Trump & Putin at their "meeting" in Helsinki, 2018.

Putin is the confident one with a smirk on his face, while Trump has none of his usual bluster. Bending forward is the classic posture of submission; here Trump hints at a possible psychological dynamic between them.

Trump is wearing a head harness & a and a red ball-gag stuffed in his mouth, while his red neck tie is being pulled towards Putin as though it's a leash.

They must've hidden the headgear in the ingame menu… 😏

Screenshot from https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/help/assassins-creed-valhalla/gameplay/article/hiding-or-displaying-your-headgear-in-assassins-creed-valhalla/000081037

…and guaranteed it won't sound anywhere near as epic as the floating Speaker droid in Andor belting out the galactic hit "Niamos!"… youtu.be/mYvEgX2COdA

We have loads of them to buy here in the UK, imported from New Zealand. I bought these yesterday…

Reminds me of the Jimmy Craig/"They Can Talk" "feathers" comic: theycantalk.com/image/636165...

A two panel comic.

The first panel has a goose calmly asking the question "What's in the jacket?".

The second panel zooms out a bit and we see the goose now chasing a person, wearing a down puffer jacket, running away from the goose, with their head just out of the comic frame, the goose now shouting after them "WHAT'S IN THE JACKET".

The goose chasing a guy webcomic was originally created by artist Jimmy Craig (sadly not active here on Bluesky) https://theycantalk.com/.

It's the first paragraph of Article IV that's the important one here. It only prohibits weapons of mass-destruction, so there's way too much wiggle room for anything that doesn't fit that description:

Article IV
States Parties to the Treaty undertake not to place in orbit around the earth any objects carrying nuclear weapons or any other kinds of weapons of mass destruction, install such weapons on celestial bodies, or station such weapons in outer space in any other manner.

On a sidenote, which might be of interest; there was a funny BBC R4 comedy-drama "Bayeux" from October 2019, to be rebroadcast on R4 Extra on Fri 18th @15:00 & 21:00. On BBC Sounds @ www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... & also preserved on Internet Archive @ archive.org/download/com...

That poor squirrel in the first photo… "WTF happened to my house…‽"

It's all part of Bastet's plan…😼

A kitten with spotty coat pattern is sitting upright next to a bronze Egyptian statue of a cat, which has it's head turned down & towards the kitten.

The statue asks the kitten "Do they still worship us, child?", the kitten replies "Well, I shit in a box and they clean it."

"Good. Good." responds the statue.

Happy Birthday, but posting genSlop to celebrate it is not the way.

At this point you have to ask all these folks delegating more & more of their life to LLMs: "Are you even human anymore…‽"

Some very rough measurements made via @soaratlas.bsky.social (link in alt-text). It's ~1.22 km side to side (red line) across the glacial tongue, the length of the fresh edge (green line) is ~2.42 km, and an *extremely roughly* drawn area over the collapsed tongue (blue filled area) is ~0.6557 km².
